Mojo install windows : Mojo Modular SDK on Windows Setting Up Environment

How to install mojo on Windows

Currently, the Mojo SDK is available for Ubuntu Linux and macOS systems running on Apple Silicon. However, Windows support is under development and will be available soon. In the meantime, this book aims to prepare readers to use Mojo on Windows systems as soon as official support is available.

Prerequisites:

• Ensure your Windows system is up to date. Check by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
• Verify your Windows version by running winver in Command Prompt. WSL 2 requires Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, or Windows 11.
• Enable Hardware Virtualization. You can do this by going to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced startup > Restart Now, then choosing Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Restart. Once restarted, enter your BIOS/UEFI and enable Hardware Virtualization.
